Family Center holds program

The Family Center Adopt-A-Grandparent program met March 17 at the Salisbury-Elk Lick Elementary School and concluded its activities learning about the 2010 Census.

The outreach effort was conducted to promote the “Somerset County Complete Count Committee” efforts to encourage every resident to fill out and mail back their U.S. Census questionnaire.

Somerset County loses approximately $2,500 in federal and state funding for every person who does not complete a census questionnaire. Certified Census workers will be going door-to-door collecting census questionnaires for those residents who did not mail back their completed questionnaires by the April 1 deadline.

The Family Center, Salisbury-Elk Lick School District and the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program of Somerset County are Complete Count Community Partners.
